GAME ON

Well today is March 1, 2011. I have exactly 3 months before my big day. I have been going strong with eating right and exercise since February 1st. Yeah yeah, I started a long time ago, but remember how I cheated over the holidays...oh wait I actually fell off the wagon after my engagement party in October...THEN there were the holidays.

January I started to recover..February I kicked in fully and exercised more than I have in a long while. March will be another one of those months. I plan on exercising twice a day or 1.5 to 2 hours per day (with a day off Im sure). I feel tired already :-).
Most people document what they eat, however I have been documenting my work-out activity. I'll just count calories in my head lol

I don't have much time left, however, my goal is still attainable. I will start posting weight loss numbers again after this month. YAY!

HUNGOREEE

Ok, I made it through last week and I should toot my own horn, I did well. I know I have not built my activity up to where it was before November, but I am on my way woohoo!
I had a session with Chad last night and it went well. He even mentioned how good the session was and that I could not have done that the first session we had. Yay! Sounds good right? or does it mean he'll just continue to make things harder and harder? Let me guess!!!
I mentioned to him last night that I have been extremely hungry. I mean I need a snack with a snack sometimes. Common sense pretty much tells us that increasing your activity will definitely increase your appetite, however I can be the opposite. Working out tends to curb my appetite. I am more likely to eat better and less of things when I work out...until my metabolism reaches a certain point, then I get hungrier faster. I've lost weight strictly doing cardio for about 6mths (long long time ago) and I did not feel this type of hunger until about 4 months into it as I increased my jogging distance. Anyway, I am not an expert, but Chad (who knows far more than I do) explained that it, the hunger, is more intense due to the resistance training. Actually he may have said some other things that went over my head, but that was the jest of it. So now I have to worry about snacking myself into oblivion.
I can easily show you how to snack on healthy stuff so much until it defeats the purpose.

143 Days Left

Ok, this is the first week of 2011. My weight loss journey has not gone as quickly or as consistently as I would have liked, but THANK GOD I at least started when I did. I can complain about it, but then I think about what if I had actually waited until now to start. OMG

The holidays really put me off track, or shall I say I let it be an excuse to get off track :-). Losing 35lbs over a 6mth period is a bit slow but a start. I have made a lot of promises in these posts, and, well, some of them I did not keep.

I knew once January rolled around I'd be in panic mode, and yep, I am. I am tempted to partake in all kinds of crazed diets, shots, drops, stomach stapling, laser melting, tape worm eating, detox regimens. I've decided that I should probably stick with what I know works best for me, besides I have plans after my wedding that some of the faster fixes may get in the way of.

The goal at hand is to be as active as I can be in the days to come. I have gotten off to a great start this week, I trained Monday with Chad, used my elliptical machine twice already. I absolutely must get back to my kickboxing class. If I can get all three of these activities down, with an occasional trip to the park...I will definitely meet my goal.
